In addition to coaching and editing young authors, I am now taking on a limited number of adult author-clients who also write novels for children and teens. Contact me for more information.

I write fiction for children and young adults, books and materials for writing instruction (some available on TeachersPayTeachers.com), poetry, and songs. Since publishing my first two books, the novel Knock onWood, ​and my educational textbook, Writing Success Through Poetry, I have also taught private writing workshops, and worked as a free-lance editor and writing coach. I love to read to audiences and am known for imitating many voices and singing the songs that appear in most of my books. My works-in-progress all have their own original soundtracks!

Inspiring awe for words and awesome writing, since 1997, I aim to help my readers and my students find and form connections with others via memorable word​s.
